The grumpy thread

[Hendry]

"Dear Volvo affecianado, an enquiry shall thusly be made by myself, the duty manager, for the reasons attributed to why one has arisen n'er sunrise?"

"Consummating the locomotive perambulation betwixt the town of Oban and thus ultimately Glasgow"

"Now hear this, a per formation of a differing form of locomotion has been arranged, thou shall deliver oneself homeward God speed."

Hahaha pmsl, absolutely brilliant.

 

What isnt brilliant is Andys original post, thats just fucking balls mate, that's the type of calamity that would happen at my work as well.

Lovely phone call about xsara from a bellend. Hi mate ypu got car? Yes says I. Would you take 250? No I'll take 300. Ok I'll leave in 10 mins,text address. I inform him car is on a friends drive a few miles from me. He says yes fine. I trundle off to xsara and wait. And wait. Half hour passes so I text asking if he on the way. Reply I receive? I've only got 200 pound. I send a text message to the effect of go forth and bother someone else

Fucking bent nose knock knee fuck pig. Mind you I may be doing a deal on it but another car is no use to me so I'd still have to sell that. Corsa on a 03 plate. 1.2 I think it is with Halford wheel trims

Got a call from swmbo at 4.45 saying her blood sugar is very high and shes waiting at the doctors to be seen. I could hear eva being loud in the background.

Get out of work (helps having a boss who has had 2 kids) and toe it home to the doctors (the steering goes really light and the clonking noises stop ay an indicated 105, modern drivers dont like being audi-d out the way by a 21yo battered shitroen)

Get to the docs within 20 minutes (a record in itself, dont tell plod) , ask the receptionist which room shes in and shes standimg behind me...

Been seen, got to check again in 4 hours and rest. Ffs. The one time i domt panic and rush will be the time something serious happens...

Was your missus having high blood sugar that big a deal that you drove 105mph in a 21year old battered Citroen?

 

More chance of you snuffing it than her today

[beko1987]

On reflection i realise this now. Did go bavk to normal mode off the mway, wasnt to be up anyones arse or taking corners too fast...

[beko1987]

Plus its french, was probably only doing 87...

The fucking rover's fucking alarm is fucking going off again, I thought I'd got the stupid fucking thing fixed by rewiring the boot lid, but no, it's got to be a bleepy little cunt at 11.30pm hasn't it.

 

Fuck raffling it, I'm going to chop it in at the weekend for something else.

[HH-R]

I think the bonnet open sensors often go tits up on these. Sometimes our 25's alarm just decided it was going to go off by hook or by crook when it was warm though. Used to leave it unlocked rather than wake the neighbours up, no one ever tried to steal it.

" 'old aaaaaaaht yer 'and"?

[bub2006]

No,he had a foreign accent.

[Station]

Mikhail Brewski?

[Noel Tidybeard]

iirc if you lock an rover with the key the alarm doesnt arm (friends dad used to lock dog in car whilst doing front garden)

[ruffgeezer]

Tried that but it's got a switch in the door thst arms the alarm.

Guess who was dispatched to Oban this morning to cover the 0521 to Glasgow?

 

Yep, me.

 

Guess what was actually running, meaning I was out of bed at 1.30am to travel 110 miles each way again for no fucking reason?

 

Yep. Train operated as normal...

 

In getting diesel then a quick cross city 8-seater transfer at 9ish then home and off til Saturday.

Dunno if similar but happened with MrS Alfs Aldi...........its got a cat 1 alarm and one of the 'feautures is a self powered alarm sounder which has rechargeable batteries.

 

Once they cease to recharge the fucker goes beserk.

 

Expensive to replace so cured by amputation

For the fourth time I saw that spotless red Mk2 Cavalier today.  I had my phone camera this time and I was on foot so I was gonna get it, finally!  Then the screen on my phone just ate all the icons and wouldn't let me get to the phone until after the Cavalier had gone and couldn't be photographed.

 

I know I'm not imagining this car, other people have seen it too.

Fucking job centre... Just come in to sign on and as soon as I walked in the door I'm jumped on by "reception" asking where I'm going and who I'm seeing. What happened here? Job centres used to be busy places where you came to find a job now you have to have an exact reason to be there

Possibly all part of the Grand Plan* to reduce unemployment figures. Make people looking for work feel like they shouldn't actually be there and hope they all go away. No welcoming smile or any offer of advice etc. Just 'Yes, can I help you' from stony faced reception. Not good. Happened to me last year! I just felt like running away. Great. Just what you need.

Attention 99% of people in Central London....... Just Fuck Off and do not invade my personal space especially when I am walking with a stick you fuckwits.

Oh oh, Vulgalour is stalking Rovers now. This is not really a grump, just a social comment.

Mates next door neighbour is a bit of a twat. Mrs screams and shouts and he tries to be as obstructive as possible. Well the cunt has just jumped in his p plate astra and reversed into my fucking vectra then pulled off. Not happy. And nor was he when I opened his door and told him he hit my motor.
